NorthOfOrdinary Posted April 4 Author Clone Share Posted April 4 BACKGROUND Madde Tiedemann grew up in Düsseldorf, Germany. From a wealthy family of business moguls, she never had to worry about money as much as she did living up to her parent's oppressive expectations. They at first wanted a doctor, but when Madde proved more adept at gymnastics then academics they pushed her to aim higher and higher in hopes that would be her ticket. For her part, Madde did love the sport. Growing up she remained amongst the best of the best in all her age groups. She studied in the best schools even while training, including a year as a foreign exchange student in the United States, before returning to Germany for a chance at joining their national team. She didn't make it - her parents were insufferable in response. Dreams crushed, Madde decided to return to the United States with an athletic scholarship to study health and wellness at the University of Richmond in hopes of becoming a sports trainer or a physical therapist. It gave her a chance to grow up and continue to train in the sport with some space away from the rest of her family. There she has flourished, beginning to find herself amongst the rest of the student body. With newfound confidence, she hopes to try again in a year for the German National Team. She still visits her old exchange family in Deltaville from time to time. They own a boat in the harbor and enjoy hosting her on weekend sailing trips. DESCRIPTION Petite and muscular, Madde has a lean frame and a small stature that really showcases her athleticism and raw natural power. She stands at five feet tall and weighs just over a hundred pounds. Her hair is long, blonde and usually up in a bun. Her eyes are hazel. She walks and moves with a soft graceful precision that took a lifetime to learn. Always one to keep up appearances, she dresses rather preppy and fashion-chic for class and regular outings though she is much more comfortable in casual athletic attire at the gym or in her dorm. Her face usually displays a rather serious or not-interested expression, but it's an unintended mask. Madde is actually rather bubbly and happy-go-lucky as a default. She enjoys adventures and has a naive curiosity about the world that often leads to new experiences, both of the good and bad kind. She tends to avoid conflict even if it means doing something she doesn't want to and after years of living sheltered, her street smarts aren't all there especially if it involves something she can post later on to social media. On the flip side, Madde still isn't one to panic when things go wrong preferring to draw on a strong sense of calm pragmatism to solve her issues. She's a supportive and well-meaning friend, often showering those in her corner with small favors and gifts. She's also a rule follower to a fault.

Paro Posted April 9 Clone Share Posted April 9 You might want to figure a way to have Boating Skill since it was mentioned in your character's background. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s just along for the ride on those boating trips. She doesn’t actually run the boat. It’s just there to give her a reason to be in Deltaville. :) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paro Posted April 19 Clone Share Posted April 19 Tell me more about the Exchange Family, please. For plot purposes, I would need to know their address and potentially how many people if they will appear in the story if you and the PCs decide you might want to go there. I am particularly interested in their boat details either way. What size/type is it? Where might it be tied up/docked?

NorthOfOrdinary Posted April 19 Author Clone Share Posted April 19 I’m thinking a family of four - mom, dad, and a son and daughter that are quite a bit younger than Madde. Perhaps middle school or high school age. The dad works an upper blue collar job, maybe a foreman for a construction company. The mother is a school teacher. Simple little sailing boat, comfortable for a half dozen folks to take a day trip off shore but not something you’d want to live on for an extended period of time. It’d be tied up at a leased/rented slip in one of the marinas. I honestly know nothing about sailboats so hopefully that’s an ok description. Being purposefully vague so you have room to make any changes or imagine them however necessary to incorporate them into the story. :) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthOfOrdinary Posted April 19 Author Clone Share Posted April 19 Let’s say the family lives at 63 Maryneta Avenue, and their boat is docked at Walden’s Marina. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
